Publish the two bootnodes; run-node.sh works with zero arguments now

Browse Source 
Founder approved publishing the network entry points. Both are public read hosts
outside the validator set, so their downtime cannot cost consensus, and their
addresses were already public through the services they serve. One runs Besu and
one runs Nethermind, so a new node's first two peers are two independent
implementations. run-node.sh uses both by default; --bootnode still overrides.
The mail path stays as fallback for the day both are down.

This closes the last gap between "one command plus an email" and one command.

Bootnodes are deliberately NOT published in this repository yet. The network entry points Two bootnodes are published here since 2026-08-25. Both are public read hosts that are NOT in

of its own machines in public documents; a dedicated public bootnode, on a host that serves already public through the services they serve. The first runs Besu, the second runs Nethermind,
nothing else, is the planned replacement, and this paragraph will then carry its enode. Until so your first two peers are also two independent implementations:
then, write to office@aere.network with the subject "bootnode" and you will receive a current
enode by return. Everything else on this page works without one; discovery is the only step ```

`run-node.sh` uses both by default when `--bootnode` is not given. A written address is not a
live address: only your own `net_peerCount` proves they are up. If both are unreachable, write
to office@aere.network with the subject "bootnode" for a current enode by return.
`--sync-mode=FULL` is deliberate. Chain 2800 runs QBFT with a half second block period, so the head `--sync-mode=FULL` is deliberate. Chain 2800 runs QBFT with a half second block period, so the head
